Reliable method of rainfall-runoff modeling is a prerequisite for proper management and mitigation of extreme events such as floods. The objective of this paper is to contrasts the hydrological execution of Emotional Neural Network (ENN) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for modelling rainfall-runoff in the Sone Command, Bihar as this area experiences flood due to heavy rainfall. ENN is a modified version of ANN as it includes neural parameters which enhance the network learning process. Selection of inputs is a crucial task for rainfall-runoff model. This paper utilizes cross correlation analysis for the selection of potential predictors. Three sets of input data: Set 1, Set 2 and Set 3 have been prepared using weather and discharge data of 2 raingauge stations and 1 discharge station located in the command for the period 1986-2014.  Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has then been performed on the selected data sets for selection of data sets showing principal tendencies.  The data sets obtained after PCA have then been used in the model development of ENN and ANN models. Performance indices were performed for the developed model for three data sets. The results obtained from Set 2 showed that ENN with R= 0.933, R2 = 0.870, Nash Sutcliffe = 0.8689, RMSE = 276.1359 and Relative Peak Error = 0.00879 outperforms ANN in simulating the discharge. Therefore, ENN model is suggested as a better model for rainfall-runoff discharge in the Sone command, Bihar.

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model along with Back Propagation Algorithm (BPA) has been applied in many fields, especially in hydrology and water resources management to simulate or forecast rainfall runoff process, discharge and water level - time series, and other hydrological variables. Several researches have recently been focusing to compare the applicability of ANN model with other theory-driven and data-driven approaches. The comparison of ANN with M5 model trees for rainfall-runoff forecasting, with ARMAX models for deriving flow series, with AR models and regression models for forecasting and estimating daily river flows have been carried out. The better results that were implemented by ANN model have been concluded. So, this research trend is continued for the comparison of ANN model with Tank, Harmonic, Thomas and Fiering models in simulation of the monthly runoffs at Dong Nai river basin, Viet Nam. The results proved ANN being the best choice among these models, if suitable and enough data sources were available.

O objetivo deste estudo é investigar o desempenho da árvore modelo (M5P) e sua sensibilidade à poda e comparação com o desempenho de uma Rede Neural Artificial (RNA) para a simulação da vazão média diária mensal. A motivação para esta análise está na maior simplicidade e velocidade de processamento da M5P comparado às RNAs e a carência de estudos aplicando este método na modelagem hidrológica. O estudo foi desenvolvido na bacia hidrográfica do Alto Canoas, tendo um delineamento experimental composto por um período de treinamento, um de validação cruzada e dois períodos de testes. A RNA utilizada foi a Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP), implementada no software MATLAB, e a M5P (com e sem poda), disponível do software WEKA. O algoritmo M5P se mostrou sensível à poda em somente metade dos tratamentos. A M5P apresentou bom ajuste na modelagem, porém a RNA apresentou desempenho superior em todos os tratamentos.Palavras-chave: rede neural artificial; árvore de regressão; Bacia do Alto Canoas. MODEL TREE IN COMPARISON TO ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK FOR RAINFALL-RUNOFF MODELING ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of the model tree (M5P) and its sensitivity to pruning and comparison to the performance of an Artificial Neural network (ANN) for the simulation of daily average discharge of the month.

Prediction of runoff is often important for optimal design of water storage and drainage works andmanagement of extreme events like floods and droughts. Rainfall-runoff (RR) models are considered to be most effectiveand expedient tool for runoff prediction. Number of models like stochastic, conceptual, deterministic, black-box, etc. iscommonly available for RR modelling. This paper details a study involving the use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN)and Regression (REG) approaches for prediction of runoff for Betwa and Chambal regions. Model performanceindicators such as model efficiency, correlation coefficient, root mean square error and root mean absolute error are usedto evaluate the performance of ANN and REG for runoff prediction. Statistical parameters are employed to find theaccuracy in prediction by ANN and REG for the data under study. The paper presents that ANN approach is found to besuitable for prediction of runoff for Betwa and Chambal regions.

Permodelan bagi proses hidraulik dan hidrologi adalah penting apabila dilihat dari sudut kepelbagaian penggunaan sumber air seperti janakuasa hidroeletrik, pengairan, pengagihan bekalan air, dan kawalan banjir. Terdapat banyak kajian sebelum ini yang telah menggunakan kaedah rangkaian neural tiruan atau artificial neural network (ANN) untuk permodelan pelbagai perhubungan tak linear dan kompleks dalam proses hidrologi. Kaedah rangkaian neural tiruan ini telah diketahui bahawa ia merupakan suatu struktur matematik yang mudah ubah (flexible) dan berpotensi untuk menjana dan merumus set-set data masukan dan keluaran yang kurang tepat atau kabur dan tidak dihalusi dengan sempurna. Kawasan kajian adalah kawasan tadahan Sungai Lui (Selangor, Malaysia). Kertas Kerja ini mengutarakan cadangan menggunakan kaedah rangkaian neural tiruan ini bagi mendapatkan jumlah air larian permukaan harian dengan menggunakan hujan sebagai nod masukan kepada model berkenaan. Terdapat dua kaedah telah digunakan dalam pemilihan bilangan nod masukan iaitu seperti yang telah dicadangkan oleh [10] dan [5]. Seterusnya, hasil keputusan yang diperolehi daripada permodelan rangkaian neural tiruan ini dibandingkan dengan hasil keputusan yang diperolehi daripada model HEC-HMS. Didapati bahawa model rangkaian neural tiruan dapat menjana dan merumus perhubungan antara air larian permukaan dan curahan hujan lebih baik berbanding dengan model HEC-HMS. Kata kunci: hidrologi, rangkaian neural tiruan, hubungan air larian permukaan-curahan hujan The modelling of hydraulic and hydrological processes is important in view of the many uses of water resources such as hydropower generation, irrigation, water supply, and flood control. There are many previous works using the artificial neural network (ANN) method for modelling various complex non-linear relationships of hydrologic processes. The ANN is well known as a flexible mathematical structure and has the ability to generalize patterns in imprecise or noisy and ambiguous input and output data sets. The study area is Sungai Lui catchment (Selangor, Malaysia). This paper presents the proposed ANN model for prediction of daily runoff using the rainfall as input nodes. The method for selection of input nodes by [10] and [5] is applied. Further, the results are compared between ANN and HEC-HMS model. It has been found that the ANN models show a good generalization of rainfall-runoff relationship and is better than HEC-HMS model. Key words: hydrologic, artificial neural network, rainfall-runoff relationship

Computer vision and image processing are extremely necessary for medical pictures analysis. During this paper, a method of Bio-inspired Artificial Intelligent (AI) optimization supported by an artificial neural network (ANN) has been widely used to detect pictures of skin carcinoma. A Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) is utilized to educate the artificial neural network (ANN). A different feature is an extract to train the classifier. The comparison has been formed with the projected sample and two Artificial Intelligent optimizations, primarily based on classifier especially with, ANN-ACO (ANN training with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO)) and ANN-PSO (training ANN with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)). The results were assessed using a variety of overall performance measurements to measure indicators such as Average Rate of Detection (ARD), Average Mean Square error (AMSTR) obtained from training, Average Mean Square error (AMSTE) obtained for testing the trained network, the Average Effective Processing Time (AEPT) in seconds, and the Average Effective Iteration Number (AEIN). Experimental results clearly show the superiority of the proposed (ANN-MFO) model with different features.
